Brief summary
The goal of this study is to find the best ways to increase colorectal cancer (CRC) screening.
Detailed description
Colorectal Cancer is preventable and curable but is still the second most common cause of cancer death in the U.S. Minorities and those with low income have more CRC than middle and high income Whites.. They also get fewer CRC screening tests. Low knowledge of CRC screening may, in part, drive this lower test use. We need new ways to improve CRC screening in primary care clinics where many minority and uninsured patients receive health care.
Interventions
OTHERI2
A touch screen computer delivered implementation intentions (I2) intervention on CRC screening. Implementation intentions are the exact steps (the when, what, where, how) one will take to complete a test (the date and time, at home or at the doctor's office, with what supplies, etc.).
OTHERHealth Education
Standard of care approach that will provide basic information on CRC screening.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| CRC screening completion rate | 12-14 Months | Rate of participants who receive CRC screening during study participation |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Cost analysis of each intervention pathway | 14 Months | Measure will be calculated by estimating all cost factors in the CRC screening process, include personnel and materials/supplies costs, materials development costs, and time of all study staff involved. Measure represented as a per participant cost to complete screening. |
